1. IN A DATA HANDLING SYSTEM EMPLOYING RECTANGULAR ARRAY INHIBITOR LOGIC THE COMBINATION COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF SERIALLY-CONNECTED STAGES EACH HAVING AN INPUT AND AN OUTPUT AND BEING CAPABLE OF PERFORMING LOGICAL OPERATIONS UPON INPUT DATA, BYPASS MEANS CONNECTING THE INPUT AND OUTPUT OF AT LEAST ONE OF SAID STAGES, AND MEANS CONTROLLING SAID BYPASS MEANS FOR PRODUCING ANY DESIRED OUTPUT CONDITION AT THE OUTPUT OF SAID STAGES.
